Object Details

“I can say without fear of contradiction,” Representative Shelley Berkley of Nevada pronounced, “that I thought my campaign logos were outstanding.” Members of Congress rarely speak about their buttons’ designs, and Berkley’s insights give a rare view into the thinking behind the decisions. In this particular version, from her 2000 campaign, the outline of Nevada tucks itself between the K and L of her name, something she always included “because I never wanted people to think I was Washington, DC, focused. . . . I came home every single weekend.”
